Mayhem Mania 2018: Patreon In The Bank

This. is. Mayhem Mania!

Not quite a game. Not really a contest. More like a competitive thought experiment. The object is to create the best WrestleMania card possible – NOT necessarily to predict what WWE will do.

This is not fantasy booking. It’s more like reality booking. Any match created must have at least a chance of happening in this year’s WrestleMania. That means all wrestlers come in their current physical, emotional and contractual state. Anyone selected for a match must have a reasonable chance of being hired by WWE to appear on the real-life WrestleMania card. 

Simply put, you’re Vince McMahon with infinite cash and no self-control.

Catch up with Mayhem Mania 2018: Week 1 – Week 2 – Week 3 – Week 4 – Week 5 – Week 6 – Week 7 – Week 8

It all comes down to this. After more than two months, Mayhem Mania 2018 has reached its final stop: the epic Patreon In The Bank round! Only Patreon supporters of the Wrestling Mayhem Show were invited to participate and I’m happy to report that we had eight of them take the time to joins us live during Episode 613 of the Wrestling Mayhem Show.

Patreon supporters at the $1 level had the following options:

– AUTO-GRADUATE any match from the “undercard” to the SUPERCARD (Those who do so will CREATE a new match to fill the opening on our “undercard”.Eliminators AND Punishment were awarded as matches graduate.)
– Make a standard move on our “undercard”: 1) SWAP a wrestler/tag team for one already on the card, or bring in a name not currently on the card. 2) ADD an unused wrestler/tag team to an existing match. 3) KILL a match AND CREATE an entirely new match with wrestlers not currently on the card.
– Add a STIPULATION to any match, including those on the SUPERCARD. (Remember, stipulations STICK and can be moved separately from the match itself by other players.)

Patreon supporters at the $5 POCKY CLUB level had an additional move option: The SUPER SUBTRACT, which can be used to SUBTRACT a wrestler, tag team unit or stipulation from ANY match.

Finally, Patreon supporters at the $10 PIZZA CLUB level get all of the above, plus a one-time use only VETO move, which can block any single move and force that player to make a different move.

Sounds simple enough, right? Let’s see how it all played out!
